Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Hi HARDSELL:

You were gifted a repack/refurb dyson DC07 for hawking dysons here [the relevant words of your post are highlighted].  After less than 2 years you sold the free DC07 since it didn't have a warranty, among other reasons.  Much to the chagrin of the DC07 donor who no longer posts here.  What did you do with the DC07 proceeds?  You bought a new Royal Emminence bagged upright.  Not even a new dyson.  Why?  Actions HS speak louder than words. 

Yes, I gift away some my vacuums after I use them.   On occasions I even buy more of the brands and models I particularly like and think others will too and gift the new ones away.  I gift to persons/places who may need vacuums and will appreciate them.  Not for them to resell, like you do.

Think what you like Carmine.  I already told you how I won the new DC07 from an Oreck salesman.  To my knowledge he has never been on this forum.  Likely too embarrassed.  I sold the DC07 because I wanted to try something different.  Warranty was not a factor. I did have a three year warranty FYI. Your story adds more credit to my accusations of you making up fiction as you post here.

Yes, I bought a Royal and a Kirby.  Good vacuums but not as good as the DC07. 

No doubt you gift yours since they have no used value.

HARDSELL:  Dysons don't come with a 3 year warranty?  It's 2 and/or 5 years FYI.   What did Shakespeare say?  What a web this mortal doth weave when deception he decides to conceive.

Sure thing!  The ORECK store employee, after supposedly losing a bet to you on a matchoff of the ORECK and dyson IN AN ORECK STORE, springs for an additional year warranty on the dyson!  Right!  You're wearing the same rose colored dyson glasses that your cohorts here wear to post their praise for failed dyson products pulled off the market for not selling.

Are you implying that a matchoff in an Oreck store would favor the Oreck.  I always knew they were using a stacked deck.  That was my reason for using baking soda.

We can see through those rose colored glasses.  You can't see through those blinders you wear.  Otherwise you would know that Dyson slayed Hoover in spite of your BS.

No implication HS.  Just giving you the same you give here.  ORECK stores nationwide typically use several new dyson models including a DC07 in customers' tests with its own ORECK models for carpet cleaning.  All types of dirt, litter, hair, thread, sand, kapoc, baking soda, candy, cereal and other such things routinely found in/on household rugs.  ORECK uprights always win over dyson.   Makes the ORECK sales for all those who ask about dyson.

Hello vacmanuk:

I went back into the Consumer Reports archives several years and can't find a ranking/rating for the SEBO Felix.  However, I noted going back to 2005, that CR routinely rates the SEBO Automatic X4 as GOOD and EXCELLENT in carpet and floor cleaning.   Tho a different SEBO model, quite similar in brush roll design and function, the CR results and yours are congruent.

I was temporarily diverted by your dyson cohort.  I didn't forget this analogy which you used and is worth more commentary.  In light of GM and Chrysler's recent bankruptcy filings and billion $ bailouts by the Feds, note that Ford, as in Henry and the inventor of the Model T and assembly line production, is the only profitable American made car maker in the USA after 100 years.  In fact the recent retro Mustang outsold HONDA's newest and latest hybrid "Insight" in May despite rising gas prices and the worse car sales in decades.  Like me, if David ORECK and his family members and employees read your post, they would most probably say they are doing things right from a US manufacturing perspective.  ORECK's icon lightweight uprights are still made in the USA.  ORECK's 2008 sales results, while other vacuum makers' sales were plummeting, prove their business model is successful even in good times and bad.
